MSN Messenger 7.5

I have been using MSN Messenger 7.0 with no problem. I just downloaded and installed MSN Messenger 7.5, and I am unable to sign in.

The error message I recieve cites the inability of Internet Explorer to connect, a problem that started long ago. I just didn't care, because I used FireFox anyway. I have reset the internet settings in IE, and the problem persists.

First of all, does anybody know how I can fix this? Second, if no one knows how to fix this, I'd like to downgrade to 7.0. Any ideas on getting the install program from 7.0?
